I've found (over several years and several broken cameras), that the best way to carry a point + shoot camera is to wear it in a case attached to the front left strap of my camelback.
1. A smallish camera with a compact lens should work with a Peak Design Capture Clip on the front left strap of your present pack.

I use a Peak Design Capture Clip with my A7R III and relatively compact lenses (e.g., a Voigtlander 50mm APO), but that solution might leave your gear somewhat exposed to the elements--so you could cover it with a 1/2 oz stuff sack.
2. A simple pouch with a waist strap (and, optionally, also with a shoulder strap) could hold your camera with minimal shifting and bouncing while you ride.
Too much information:
I poked around online and at REI as I looked for a small pack that I could wear at my waist or at my side to supplement a day pack. Although there are many nice small lumbar packs, I didn't find a solution that appealed to me (in part because some of the packs, when worn in front or at the side, position the buckle in ways that don't play well with another pack. A simple pouch that stabilized the camera via a waist belt while it shared the load with an over-the-shoulder camera strap worked for me during a recent walking and climbing (but not riding) trip to the dusty eastern Sierra Nevada.
A large Zing neoprene pouch held my camera and should hold yours; it has loops that allow attaching a simple waist strap, as well as (higher set) webbing loops that allow it to be attached to a camera strap, such that the camera is supported by both the shoulder strap and the waist belt. (I ended up also clipping the camera's wrist loop to the toy 'biner that also partially supported the pouch via the waist strap--no broken camera for me.) You could clip the camera and/or the pouch to your pack's strap to hold it in position at your side, if you wish.
